According to Prescod-Weinstein, the slogan
“Make America Great Again” is problematic because it presupposes that
the United States was great when African-Americans were “more likely to
be hanged from a tree than welcomed in the physics community” and when
Nazi war criminals “became central to the American scientific
establishment.”

“If
APS’s leadership had any imagination — or concern for those of us who
are being threatened by emboldened racists/transphobes/etc.,” she
continued, “they would have said, ‘We urge President-elect Trump to
finally actually make America great through the allocation of resources
that will combat discrimination and hate in all their forms.’”

All I can say is that these next few years are going to be "interesting".
